Author's note This book, as with many historical accounts, has elements which are fictional, i.e. conversations and the like. Hence, it is an historical novel. Beyond historical facts, any similarity to names or actual characters is purely coincidental. However, since I have lived much of what I write about, you might be surprised at what is true. My goal is to capture the mood and background of a certain era in time and I trust I have accomplished that in this novel placed at the end of World War I. It was an exciting time. The world was again at peace. Doughboys were coming home. Scientific advances were making great strides. The Roaring Twenties was upon us. Wow! What a ride!

This volume is the publication and analysis of the tomb of pharaoh Seneb-Kay (ca. 1650-1600 BCE), and a cemetery of associated tombs at Abydos, all attributable to a group of kings of Egypt's Second Intermediate Period. The tomb of Seneb-Kay has provided the first known king's tomb of pharaonic Egypt that included decorated imagery in the burial chamber. That evidence, presented in full-color and discussed in detail in the volume, allows us to identify this previously unknown ruler along with a group of seven similar tombs that can be attributed to an Upper Egyptian Dynasty that survived for approximately half a century during a period of pronounced territorial fragmentation in the Nile Valley. The book examines the architecture and artifacts associated with these tombs as well as presents an osteological analysis of the bodies of Seneb-Kay and the other anonymous individuals buried at South Abydos. Seneb-Kay's skeletonized mummy was recovered inside his tomb and provides a rare opportunity to examine the body of a king of this era. He is the earliest substantially preserved body of an Egyptian king to survive in the archaeological record, and the first known Egyptian pharaoh whose skeletal remains show that he died in battle. The analysis of his death in a military encounter, along with insights from the other skeletal remains indicates a line of kings whose rise to power was associated with their social background as members of the military elite. The book examines the wider implications of these bodies in terms of the pronounced militarization of society in the Second Intermediate Period. Seneb-Kay's tomb has also provided extensive evidence, through its use of reused blocks bearing decoration, of earlier elite and royal monuments at Abydos. The combination of evidence provides a new archaeological and historical window into the political situation that defined Egypt's Second Intermediate Period.

I have always had a definitive love for ancient time periods. I have written many short stories of long ago, some became prize winners in high school. I have a long history of love for Asian women. I think they are very mysterious as well as loving and loyal, that is why I had chosen ancient China before it was called anything as a backdrop for this story. If you are really intent on knowing me, then read my stories. They tell a lot if not most things about me. I didn’t have the greatest childhood in the world, but it was good to certain point. I was left alone much of the time, that is how I developed my love for the long ago. I have always been a dreamer and can’t see that changing any time soon. Although I live in reality, I have and active dream state. I had found a way to combine the both to become my reality by incorporating them in my everyday life. I find it fits me well. I love movies of ancient times. A few of my favorites are Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, and the Passion of the Christ. I haven’t always been a man of deep Christian beliefs. When I was young, I have a few minor scrapes with others getting into fights, but that changed when I was thirteen, that was when I came to Christ, and it has forever changed me. Since then, I have had very little trouble with anyone, chasing to stay out of harms way until I am needed. I do hope you find this story enlightening

Douglas Wile translates and analyzes four collections of recently released nineteenth-century manuscripts on T'ai-chi ch'uan. These writings of Wu's older brothers Ch'eng-ch'ing and Ju-ch'ing, and his nephew Li I-yu, together with the transmissions of Yang Pan-hou, represent a significant addition to the seminal literature. The rich new texts allow us to make a fresh survey of longstanding issues in T'ai-chi history: the origins of the art; the authorship of the "classics;" the differences between Wu, Yang, and Li; and the roles of Chang San-feng, Wang Tsung-yueh, Chiang Fa, and the formerly missing link, Ch'ang Nai-chou. The original Chinese texts of the four new sets of classics have been appended for the convenience of Chinese readers and scholars. The book reconsiders the world of the Wu, Yang, and Li families of Yung-nien and reconstructs it against the background of the Opium Wars, the Taiping Rebellion, and the decline of the Manchu dynasty. New biographical sources illuminate the domestic and political lives of the Yung-nien circle and their orientation to the late imperial intellectual trends. The development of T'ai-chi ch'uan in the nineteenth century is explored in the context of China's cultural response to the challenge of the West and the role of body-centered arts in Asia during the drive for independence and the ongoing search for national identity.
